To make it even more challenging, students created and acted out full scenes — not just single objects. It’s amazing to see communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills come to life in such a positive way!

With the home staged to reflect life in the 1940s & 50s, students explored, observed, and used rich sensory details to craft creative pieces! 📚✨ The experience wrapped up with a guided tour of this incredible space.
History + creativity = powerful learning! 🎉

Keep growing. Keep leading. 💚🤍

Mrs. Freel and her students switched roles as students practiced finding the subject and verb. Learning looks a little different when students get a turn up front!

On Friday, Gina Malczewski from the Midland Section of the American Chemical Society returned to Ms. Richardson’s classroom to share the wonders of science! 🔬
During her “Cold, Colder, Coldest” program 🧊, students compared temperature measurements, explored different forms of frozen water and phase changes, and investigated snowflake symmetry ❄️. They even designed and created snowflakes of their own!
The class also compared dry ice to frozen water (looking at both temperature and composition), watched an exciting demonstration of liquid nitrogen—the coldest of the cold! 🥶—on inflated balloons 🎈, and explored “hot ice” hand warmers 🔥.
It was a cool, hands-on learning experience everyone enjoyed! 😊

Our SOAR Assembly recognized the hard work, growth, and achievements of our Freeland Middle School students. Keep setting the bar high, Falcons—we see you and we’re proud! 🦅💚
